The Breeders

Chapter 2 Saved

Following his footsteps to a clearing they just stopped abruptly leaving no trail to follow. It was like he had vanished in thin air which wasn't good at all. Then again I wasn't always the best tracker under stress. Wolf mother tried to teach me to work alongside my wolf, but I think I lost where she started and where I began. I feel we are one and I can't remember a time where we weren't. But it's the same for everyone eventually we forget who we are if we don't remind ourselves. You get lost within yourself being in wolf form for so long.

A growl brought me from my thoughts stiffening my body in its place. I dropped my head low to the ground facing the direction of the growl. It was a cave hidden somewhat by the leaves of the trees that lay above it. I could now tell he made it himself which was impressive, the ones we made with wolf mother were small and not well structured.

I felt the pushing inside my mind knowing exactly who it was.

'Sorry wolf mother.'

I felt bad for saying it. I didn't mean it at all to sound offensive. Only merely to point out how good he was at it, most found it hard to do.

I could see the steam come from the cave as his breath puffed out. Maybe I was standing a little too close but nothing I could do now. The rumbling of his chest I could hear from where I was standing with my head down. Which wasn't a good thing because hearing that meant you were too close for comfort. I laid myself down on the ice cold snow showing my submission to him. I began to whimper feeling uneasy but I couldn't help the mixed emotion I got from being so close.

I'd never been so unsure of myself in my life and never had a reason to be afraid. Here and now I felt I was lost of all control beside the fact we were held in captivity. Nothing compared to him he showed no mercy, and submission only egged him on. This wolf he didn't seem to want to be with any other at all. To be honest I think him leaving me be was courtesy of somewhat proper submission. I still didn't know what I did wrong or why he wasn't accepting me. Did I offend him somehow?

His snout followed by the rest of his head, and the more he appeared the bigger he got. He looked down upon me even though there was somewhat of a distance between us he still radiated power. His ears were pushed back and his head lowered baring his teeth. I whimpered, backing away slowly dragging my body along the cold snow. He let out a growl and I knew that was my final warning he had enough.

I turned around without a second thought sprinting to a safe location. My heart pounded as I ran past trees, the branches scraping my freshly washed grey fur. The stinging from each brought more and more pain as they seemed to multiply. I should have taken another path but I figured if he was angry enough to chase me to not make it easy for him. At least I was small enough to fit in the small spaces even though it was painful to go through some.

I stopped when I couldn't take it anymore and found a clearing. It didn't look like he was following me and I was thankful for it. I had no clue how to defend myself the proper way, not that it would make much difference to fight off an alpha. You were pretty much screwed if you did unless you were an alpha and in the end it depends on who has the most power. They were so different and were meant to protect us, which is why my skills lacked so much. I wasn't an omega nor was I a beta but I was in the middle section somewhere. Sadly I forgot the ranks, I only know the feeling of them. What my duties are who has more power than me, even those who are lower than me. Everything was slowly fading further away in my mind to where I couldn't recall the basic names of simple objects. It was sad really but what other choice did I have? The humans gave us none. To submit to them or be killed there was no in between. Plus I was young when it happened I didn't know much to begin with to recall things.
